2015 CDPHP Workforce Team Challenge

Kitware is celebrating after our 6th successful year at the CDPHP Workforce Team Challenge. The Team Challenge is a local 3.5-mile run/walk through the streets and parks of Albany. The event is the largest annual road race between Utica and New York City with over 8,000 finishers. We had a perfect day for exercising outdoors with cool, dry, and pleasant weather. Kitware displayed an impressive turnout with 19 finishers.

We are proud to have some new faces this year with Javier, Sandy, and Shawn on the team.

Kitware saw some big improvements this time around with Juda, Matt T., and John T. posting significantly faster times than last year, a testament to their hard work in training. Nice work!

The second relates time, age, and place for each Kitware employee:

Thanks to Utkarsh and Lisa for the above visualizations created using ParaView. Jeff provided another visualization grouping the bib numbers associated with each organization:

Thanks to CDPHP and the volunteers for putting on a great event year after year. And to Steve and Tami for making sure our runners are looking dapper in our official Kitware shirts. And of course to Kitware for encouraging us to get out there and take advantage of this exciting local event!
